No One Left Alone

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“No One Left Alone is brilliant, profound, moving, and inspirational: a masterpiece that wrestles honestly with the trauma, violence, racism, and isolation of our struggling world. It emerges from the crucible of pain and grief in Boston's Roxbury community and the long cascade of violence that culminated in the murder of Cory Johnson. His grieving family, a wounded community, and a loving pastor have painstakingly created a soft space where all are accepted, stories shared, and healing made possible.”

To Be Held by the Light

Arts & Literature

“Inspired by both the Common Lectionary Scripture for Lent and the Wallkill Valley Lenten Series on the ‘I Am’ statements of Jesus, Ariana D. Den Belyker has painted pictures of God’s presence in our world. The images are thought-provoking, inviting the reader into a deeper relationship with God. If you want to embrace a renewing journey of hope and inspiration during Lent or any season, then this book of poetry will transport you to the kingdom of God in a holy and new way.”

Waking in the Light

Arts & Literature

“Waking in the Light brings light to the heart and the soul. It will inspire those who take the time to sit with these word pictures and sit with the presence of God. In the same way that a masterful painting or symphony calls forth a deeper, richer truth, this collection of poems will touch your heart and mind and stir your imagination.”
